Not a Woman Drunk.

dress at the King's Weigh House
Church, Duke street, London, she
never saw a drunken woman or a
Woman in a drinking saloon.
Boston Shocked at Conntess.
A very charming, pretty young
.woman, who registered at .the Hotel
Lenox, Boston, Mass., as the Countess
tie Swlrzsky, St. Petersburg, created
a sensation In the cafe of that ex
clusive house when, after dining, she
coolly lighted a cigarette and puffed
away with evident pleasure and un
concern. Lorgnettes were leveled In
tier direction and a murmur ran over
the room which attracted the atten
tion of the manager. He requested
the countess to throw away her smoke
and for his pains received a rapid
lire of Russian invectives. The
countess then addressed the diners
In general with mingled English and
Russian.
Fire Heroines nt 'Phones.
' When fire destroyed the big Ohio
Building, at Gary, Ind., Involving a
loss of $5 0,000, two telephone opera
tors, Harriet Stevens and Charlotte
Chesnes, became heroines, by Btaying
at their posts near by until they were
driven away by suffocation and heat.
The two girls were alone in the
has executive ability in affairs of the
household, and we picture her as a
successful manager of a home, but
for some reason she never has her
own fireside. We think of this friend
as a true and loving wife, but she does
not marry. The divine spark never
wma to strike her. We bemoan the
loss to our llttlo world, and some of
us protest against the barriers wblch
wall in her heart, but there she is,
smiling and immune.
Love does not come to her. We
cannot explain why her heart is not
touched; we wonder at the silence
when one or two adorers offer their
hearts, which are promptly refused.
With a potentiality for loving, she
lives through her years and then
passes out of our knowledge.
What is the reason? Can It be that
there really exists somewhere in this
world a man who can awaken the soul
of the loveless one? Is it possible
that in her youth she formed ideals
beyond the power of man to approxi
mate, and the first murmur of the
grand passion is drowned by the loud
demands of these high ideals? Or
perhaps, when the soul mate is quite
near, her time and heart are occupied
in a career or an art, and she is deaf
to all calls but that of her particular
muse.
At any rate, love passes by. We
who know the little god pity ber for
the great gap which, poets sing, can
never be filled by other interests. We

butter. Stir into it a teaspoonful of cornstarch, and when
they are thoroughly blended stir in slowly one-half of a cup

the hours of fire-fighting they stayed,

Clothing Terms.
1 The English word "frock," denot
ing a kind of coat for men, was bor
rowed from us by the Germans In the
form ot "track, " and afterward be
came French "frac." But whereas
In English it means a frock coat, on
the continent it means a dress coat,
which is quite another thing. In the
"N. E. D.," where quotations are
given for all senses, there is no trace
of Its meaning a dress coat in Eng
lish. This application of the term
must therefore have been "made in
Germany," whence it penetrated to
all the continental languages, Includ
ing Lithuanian "frakas" and Finnish
"prakki," the Finns having no "f."
The term is well known in the Sla
vonic dialects, always in the sense
"dress coat," and the Russians have
even coined the admirable word
"fratchnik" to describe an habitual
wearer of evening dress a "toff," in
fact.
While they use "frac" for a dress
coat, the French designate a frock
coat by another English loan word,
"redingote," which was originally
"riding coat." In Spanish "frac" is
fiross coat, and frock coat is "leviata,"
1. e., levitical coat." The Young Turks
greatly affect the frock, and I have
heard it called by them "stambolina,"
L e., Constantinopolltan coat.
"Frock" is not the only clothing
term misused by foreigners. "Smo
king" (I. e., smoking jacket) is used
In French, German, Russian and
other tongues to signify a dinner
Jacket, which in New York is called
a "tuxedo," from the village of that
name. "Buckskin," which in Eng
lish has a very limited currency,
eema extremely popular In what
aome one has called "the gross gar
gles of Prussia and Holland," which
use It indiscriminately for a,ny
breeches material or for the garment
Itself. Notes and Queries.
Tjoes Love Come?
In matters ot love It is strikingly
noticeable how reckless and extrava'
Kant Cupid is in some cases, and how
slightingly he treats other deserving
women. All of us know three or
four women of different ages whose
lives are made supremely happy by
the power of a great love. The mys
tic art that strengthens the weak and
tramples on the strong has a wonder
ful effect of presenting smiling vic
tims to our view. We rejoice with
.theBe happy women. We are glad to
be allowed to walk with them in the
radiance of their Joy. About these
women there is no doubt that love
has come and intends .to stay.
Eut in our circle of friends there
Is, petbaps, a lovable woman who
walks on la single blessedness. She
who are one of the untouched ones
realize that something la lacking, and,
after years ot watching for the one,
shrug our shoulders, accept our lot,
and try to fill our thoughts with
work.
No; love doesn't come to every
woman. It is one of the unexplained
things of this life, but it is true.
There is this saving thought, though:'
If the great joys of love are not for
some of us, the sorrows are also lack
ing. And perhaps there is compensa
tion in the knowledge that a life-work
is less personal and quite as gratify
ing wh.m a woman's efforts are not
confined to her own joys.
After all, it would be difilcult vol
untarily to decide our own fates,
wouldn't it? New York Press.

New York City. The sleeveless
coat is practical and smart, it means
the satisfaction of a wrap without ap
preciable warmth, and it can be made
available for a long list of materials.
The little epaulette-llke portions can
be either of the same or contrasting
material and can be used or omitted,
as liked. The feature of the coat is
to bo found in its extreme simplicity
nnd the ease with which it can be
laundered.
The coat is made with fronts, backs
and side-backs. The fronts are fitted
by means of darts at the shoulders
and the neck edge Is finished with a
flat collar. The under-arm edges are
finished separately and lapped one
over the other and buttoned Into
place and the coat can be opened out
flat when laundering becomes neces
sary. The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is four and one
quarter yards twenty-one, three and
one-half yards twenty-seven or one
and three-quarter yards forty-four
inches wide with one-half yard twenty-one
or twenty-seven Inches wide
for collar and epaulettes.

shoulders and scarcely any fulness in

collars, round waists and merely a

certain cactus. Woodpeckers are
apt to excavate ' nests in the trunk

may protect itself against these in

juice, which hardens, forming a
woody lining to the hole made by the
birds. Eventually the cactus dies and
withers, but the wooden howl remains.
A BRITISH CITIZEN.
Experiences of a Hindoo Gentleman
in South Africa.
Apparently to the average colonial
mind a highly educated Hindu gen
tleman, a British Bubject, a barrister
of the Inner Temple, is identical with
a coolie. He is regarded as a "nig
ger" is regarded in Carolina, and the
British Government is incapable of
protecting him against the treatment
which in a less civilized place Is the
natural result of such a view. Mr.
Gandhi first went over .to South Africa
to conduct an important lawsuit in
1893. His earliest experience was to
be turned out of a first class railway
car and ordered Into the "van com
partment," and when he took the
Btage coach he was knocked down by
the driver, a Dutchman. He was not
admitted to the Grand National Hotel
at Johannesburg and was kicked oft
the path in front of President Kru
ger's house by the sentry. In Natal
he found the Ministry embarking on
a campaign of disabling bills against
native Indians, and here he started
on what may be called his political
career as the leader of the Indian
community in South Africa. On his1
return from India, whither he had
proceeded to fetch his wife and chil
dren, a mob of 3000 persons prevent
ed the ships for some time from land
ing their Indian passengers at Dur
ban. During the war Mr. Gandhi organ
ized the corps of Indian stretcher
bearers, which rendered fine service
at Spion Kop and elsewhere. This
splendid volunteer work might well
have been the beginning of better re
lations between colonists and Indians,
but the new English administration
were' not sympathetic. The insulting
registration law was passed and com
plied with under protest, and the
promise to repeal it was then broken.
During the plague outbreak of
1904 and the Zulu rebellion of 1905
Mr. Gandhi and other Indians were
of great assistance, but they did not
receive any better treatment in con
sequence. They have since entered
on a campaign of "passive resistance."
This has cost Mr. Gandhi two sen
tences of two months' imprisonment
among the most ruffianly scoundrels,
white and black, which the colony
can produce. Some of his experiences
in prison will not bear quotation.
What must be thought in India ot
such treatment by a British colony
of a refined and well educated man
whose father, grandfather and uncle
were Prime Ministers at native courts
and who is only resisting a law im
posed contrary to the solemn promise
of the late High Commissioner?
